The intake manifold is water heated to assist in vaporizing the incoming fuel charge. It has two seperate coolant passages, two thermostats, an air vent valve, and a coolant by-pass passage.
It also has one fuel inlet into each cylinder head. The right barrels of the carb feed Nos. 1,2,3 and 4 cylinders. The left barrels feed Nos. 5,6,7, and 8 cylinders.

Have many more specs (from valve guide bore dia. to connecting rod length, etc.). Let me know what you need.
